Star Wars at Changi Airport

Star Wars has landed at Singapore Changi Airport! Check out the cool starfighters and characters from the world of Star Wars here!

From now till 5 January 2016, enjoy Star Wars-themed experiences at Changi Airport, with exhibits, character appearances and cute plush toys exclusive to the airport! This is part of the airport’s year-end festivities, and of course, to celebrate the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Singapore next month.

Making its landing at Terminal 3 central atrium, the T-70 X-Wing is flanked with an awesome video wall! Check it out at Terminal 3’s central atrium area (between Check-in Rows 5 and 6). Here are some detail shots of the Starfighter:

R2-D2’s here too, although many Star Wars fans have already pointed out that it’s the wrong astromech droid.

A short performance, or ‘character parade’ gave a finishing touch to the launch of Star Wars at Changi.

It was a confusing show, but still quite entertaining for all to see so many costumed characters. The Stormtroopers arrive (to capture the X-Wing?) and after a while everyone just decided to pose for photos.

Feels like you’re in a game.

I’m sure the Airport guests will love this, because you actually hop inside the X-Wing’s cockpit and get your photo taken! During select times, Pilots and Stormtroopers will be making appearances too. Scroll down for more detailed info on this!

As part of the one time-only show, the Stormtroopers marched from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2.

It was a little chaotic because there were too many fans excited to see Stormtroopers marching around the Airport.

And even using the Airport’s escalators..

and Linkbridges.

At Terminal 2, you can find the TIE Fighter across from Check-In Row 1 (and Krispy Kreme). It’s described as 1:1 scale, but I think it should be slightly larger?

There are no activities here so it’s always available for photo taking during the campaign period.

Of course, all the characters gathered here for cool photo ops as part of the launch!

Including a Kid Darth Vader. Who is this???

Special Thanks: Changi Airport for inviting us to the ‘Star Wars at Changi’ launch event.

T-70 X-Wing Photo Op at Changi Airport Terminal 3

The X-Wing Starfighter at Changi Airport Terminal 3 will be open to visitors for boarding. One person inside the cockpit at any time, please.

Tickets to board the X-Wing Fighter will be distributed on a first come, first served basis, with only 80 tickets for each timeslot. No need to spend at the Airport, just queue! The airport will be giving out a free photo print (wow!) for pilot-wannabes.

Of course, if you don’t want to pilot the X-Wing, you can take a photo of it anytime you like – the airport’s open 24/7.

Star Wars: Plush Toys – exclusive to Changi Airport
